Baby Massage has been practiced by eastern cultures for centuries and is part of their day to day life. It is an art passed down from generation to generation – to help bonding, soothe and help baby to relax and sleep, relieve wind and colic.
The skin is the largest organ of the human body and without stimulation problems can arise. TOUCH is vital for babies. Without it the baby will not thrive. Research shows that as late as the 1920’s) the death rate in orphanages and institutions was incredibly high. Research into their deaths found that the babies had died from lack of human contact. They were fed and changed but, deprived of touch – hugs, cuddles and kisses – the babies developed depression which led to a lack of appetite, this resulted in a wasting disease called Marasmus. You can see how important it is to nurture our babies. Feed them not only with food but love and touch as well.
